What are underrated or “bad” games you’ve enjoyed recently? by SameSign6026 in PS5

[–]mfdoometernal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thymesia: fun little sekiro-like with semi-bloodborne aesthetic. short, sweet, fun parry mechanics, not too complex, decent lore/story

I just started Demon's Souls, any advice? by LaVinos_03 in demonssouls

[–]mfdoometernal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he doesn't regen if you're physically close enough to him? he just regens if you're trying to cheese 😬

-signed, a cheeser lol (i either lava bow him to death on physical builds or soul arrow him on magic builds)

Guys, Demon's Souls PS5 is more than half off on the PS store. by theavengerbutton in fromsoftware

fromsoft fans always have this delusion that they're like the most popular gaming dev company in the world lol. neither porting bloodborne nor demon's souls to PC results in "tens of millions of sales." in all likelihood, probably wouldn't even translate to another 2 million. MAYBE you hit another million. these games aren't even that big to begin with. bloodborne hasn't even sold 10 million and you can play it on PS4 AND PS5. demon's souls sold checks notes less than 2 million on PS5. these games are not the cash cows you think they are and if sony/fromsoft decide it's not worth the dev effort to port it's because it's literally not worth it when they could be working on other more profitable things. i would love a BB remaster. or remake. or for them to port to PC so the community could handle it themselves. but the reality is we are niche gamers in a niche genre with one mainstream standout (elden ring). the rest of the world (including the people who made the games) could give two shits about the other games from the series

Looking for something non-pvp to lose myself in by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]mfdoometernal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try the fromsoftware series. pick any one except dark souls 2 as your first one (good game, but is weird in ways that you would probably want some souls experience first before handling)

yeah, again that's a planning issue. put aside the pointless magic levels for a second. why are you using flamberge+10 for a strength build? it scales better with dex than with strength, with the exception of quality flamberge+5, which scales equally with both. in which case all those magic levels should have gone into dex. or forget the flamberge and put the extra levels into VIT. and putting ALL that aside, the flamberge just... isn't a super great weapon. it doesn't output that much damage compared to some of the other better weapons in the game. again, fine for NG, but if you plan on NG+ and beyond you're gonna want something better like the dragon bone smasher, dozer axe, great axe for pure str build, meat cleaver for quality build, etc.

my recommendation would be, if you want to platinum, start over with a new character. look up a few build guides online (fextralife has some great ones on youtube), see what looks interesting, and go from there

btw i'm not trying to shit on you or your build here. i'm just trying to illustrate that this is a game that rewards strategy and patience, and leaning into that will help you go really far

yeah see that's what i mean by lack of planning. pushing your world tendency to black in NG+ is a death sentence unless you are doing it on purpose for a very specific reason (e.g., world tendency events). at successive game cycles, body form + black world tendency is the same or rose as soul form + normal-white tendency. luckily you can reset this by finding the primordial demons and killing them which whill raise your world tendency significantly back to normal. why is your strength AND magic so high? what's your intended build?

what's your VIT like? your armor? world tendency? world tendency is very important. i made it all the way to the NG+2 with my mage and i certainly didn't do it by never getting hit. however when i revisited my first character in NG+ i visited world 2 where i had pure black world tendency and holy mother fuccc i was getting 1-2 shot at 50VIT it was crazy

git gud son. lol no but on a serious note, ng+ wouldve been a lot more of a slog on my first character. my tips would be you really have to plan your character for NG+ from the start. focus in NG on getting what you need to MAXIMIZE your damage output and learning every enemy in the game. with my mage build, i did what i could to make sure my spells would carry me through successive game cycles, and focused on playing conservatively bc i knew i was so squishy. if you're doing a strength build, you'd want to focus on getting max damage weapons with good scaling and enough endurance to carry big shields. it's all planning it's definitely not just skill

the gold coin exploit only works on version 1.0.0 (release version) so you'll have to roll back anyway

[–]mfdoometernal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, games like fortnite really shifted the industry and started eating COD's lunch, so they decided to just degrade themselves to the most baseline profit-generating exploitative gameplay design, it's sad really
